Existential Therapists in Whitby, ON

For 30+ years I have had the privilege to work with many people struggling through life transitions. I appreciate that life involves changes, turns, and bumps that sometimes we navigate easily; yet, at other times we feel more challenged. My combined passion, training, and expertise can benefit you. I will help you find your resilience and strength to work through relationship concerns, sexuality and intimacy concerns, aging, retirement, death and dying, or grief and loss. I have the utmost respect for the people I work with; I will offer acceptance, privacy and compassion.

I am open to working with anyone who is interested in doing the hard work of improving relationships to self, others, and the world through self-examination, relationship development, spiritual reflection, and creative experimentation with meaning-making and purpose-building.

I am by brand, a Rogerian therapist with an eclectic approach to treatment. I tend to marry holistic approaches to evidence based approaches. Creativity flows throughout the therapeutic process and my hope is that therapy can be an enjoyable experience despite the challenges in the therapeutic journey.

I'm Danielle- a registered social worker with a passion for building genuine, meaningful relationships with my clients.

Have you had life experiences that felt too much, too fast, too soon, for too long, or not long enough? If so, this might mean you have endured trauma - leaving you with a longing for someone who understands. No one can define your trauma for you - you are the expert on how your story has felt for you so far. If you are looking for a therapist who will listen, educate, affirm, and support you - then you have come to the right page. As an EMDR consultant in training, I am also offering 1:1 consultant sessions to those looking to be certified in EMDR.

It would be an honour to have the opportunity to connect with you and to help you accomplish your goals so that you can live your best life.

Hope and healing is for everyone! It would be so good to connect with you!

I work with people facing life changes and challenges to mental well-being. I am completing Yorkville University’s well-regarded program in Counselling Psychology; my practicum placement with New Roots Therapy is a component of my Master’s degree. Previously, I had a career in the business world. I understand the courage that it takes to take the first step away from the familiar, toward new possibilities. I understand what it is to want your life to be different. As well, as a result of years of experience with VON providing bereavement support, and where I am in my own life, working with mature adults is also close to my heart.

The struggles we experience in life do not define us. You have unique abilities within you that can be fostered to bring about the wonderful life you deserve to live. Everything that you have gone through and things happening today can become overwhelming and out of control, but the story of your life does not have to get stuck there. We can work together to make the unique changes you need in your healing journey. You have landed on this page with hope and we can actualize that into the reality you are seeking for your life to be.

Intense emotions can pull you into a downward spiral of feeling overwhelmed and lost. It is difficult to face life when you are walking around with a heavy chest or feeling anxious. It is likely that you were never taught how to cope with how you feel or understand why a part of you feels empty inside. It can feel uncomfortable to turn to friends and family, fearing how they may react. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space, where you can feel heard as you work through difficult emotions. I can provide you with the insight, tools and support you need to bring about healing so that you can approach life in a new way.

Your mental health struggles might seem overwhelming, but they offer you a profound opportunity for healing and growth. I always strive to make therapy an uplifting & empowering experience. Even when working through painful & challenging obstacles, I will ground you in your strengths while helping you develop new perspectives that strengthen, lead & inspire you. I have had the honour of helping thousands of individuals through 15 years of counselling, 10 years of personal development coaching and speaking across Canada on emotional development, leadership and growth-mindset. I am passionate & commited to serving people like you.

I work collaboratively with people willing to engage in self-reflection who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem issues and interpersonal conflicts. From a stance of empathy and acceptance, I invite clients to practice self-compassion and aim to empower them to become their own agents of change and live more meaningful lives.

Do you struggle with self-esteem or managing your emotions? Are you having difficulty coping or having difficulty in your family or personal relationships? Do you need help recovering from substance abuse? Have you experienced trauma in the past? In therapy, we will draw from practical tools that you can start applying in everyday life to build and sustain recovery. We will work towards tangible results — improved self confidence, better romantic and peer relationships, and sustained sobriety. Therapy is a safe space to start permanent healing. I am looking forward to hearing your story and to providing effective support.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems).

Online Counselling for residents of ON, BC, SK, MB, NL, YT, NT, and NU. Anxiety, stress, and depression can keep you from enjoying your life. Your grief might leave you feeling guilty, angry, or ashamed. Adults who have lost a loved one can experience these emotions and more. The loss of your work or career can have you feeling worthless. Disruptions at work can have you questioning your abilities and feeling isolated. Career and life transitions are often bewildering. Traumatic experiences can affect your adult life in many ways. Relationship issues can be deeply troubling. You want someone to listen to you.

From anxious to calm, afraid to brave, confused to clear, and melancholy to hopeful, I'm here to truly support and inspire you toward progress and healing. My goal is to support clients in identifying the unhelpful stories that keep them stuck and work to shift perspectives so they can experience new states of being and lean into more preferred stories that highlight their strengths, resources, and genuine intentions. In my practice, I value present-moment connection, collaboration, and curiosity. I offer a safe, compassionate space for those seeking therapy to embrace mindful self-awareness, reflection, and acceptance of self.

Are you coming to therapy with questions about your identity, trauma, taking up space, doubt, or how to navigate change or difficult relationship dynamics? Do you feel like you might be the only person who has ever felt this way? Or like anxiety has been keeping you from accessing the support you deserve? As a queer person who has benefited greatly from my own therapy, I know how important it is to have a nonjudgmental space where I can show up as my whole and authentic self and have my grief, loss, and doubts witnessed and validated. I would be honoured to create that space with you.

Navigating through life can be challenging with the struggles we face such as, but not limited to, aversive life events, unwanted changes, uncertainties about the future, loss of a loved one, conflicts in relationships, and becoming your authentic self. Much of these life struggles throw an imbalance to our mental health wellness, causing difficult emotions to arise that seem to permeate through and taint every aspect of our lives. These challenging times may feel endless, and you may feel lost, but know that you are never alone.
